Question: 1 / 400

A ____ is a document filed with the court requesting that certain evidence, such as prejudicial, irrelevant, or legally inadmissible evidence, not be brought out during trial.

Motion for a directed verdict

Motion for a new trial

Motion for a judgment as a matter of law

Motion in limine

A motion for a directed verdict, also known as a motion for judgment as a matter of law, is filed by a party to argue that there is no need for the case to go to trial because the evidence presented does not support the opposing party's claim.

A motion for a new trial is filed after a trial has already taken place, typically in response to a verdict that the party disagrees with.

A motion for judgment as a matter of law, also known as a motion for directed verdict, is filed during trial to argue that the opposing party has not presented enough evidence to prove their case.

Therefore, a motion in limine is the correct answer as it specifically focuses on preventing certain evidence from being presented during trial. It is typically filed before the trial begins to ensure that the evidence is not even mentioned in front of the jury.
